Nice Guys Finish Last

In winners never cheat there was a chapter that talked about nice guys finishishing last and how that statement is false, I can definatley see were he is coming from and that in some ways thats true. But I do not completley agree, There are many areas that a nice guy might finish last, that even though they kept there ethical conduct if they wouldnt have they could have got ahead. Im not saying that its right to do so but in this world today, there are no prizes for being nice, that doesnt bring home a salary to feed your kids, you dont get a good job, in the real world today its extremeley unlikley to be NICE and ethical and finish first, True Hunstmen claims to have done so, And he is successesful this will admit but im sure there has been at least one time in his profession that he wasnt the NICE guy, There was probabley at least one time were he wasnt that peson and did what had to be done. This is all opionion mind you, I agree that you can be nice and be successfull but there are times when we cannot be NICE 100% of the time due to human desire and greed, Im sure that if he would have been border line bank rupt and needed to use his friend that was going through a tough time, he would have done it, im not saying its right to do so, I dont think one bit of it is, but that section really made me wonder how NICE he really was and if he was 100% of the time...

  1. I agree with this. It reminded me of highschool where the cutest girls always dated the scummiest guys, and i never understood why. But sooner or later they get their head on straight and they start looking for the nice guys. I'm just hoping Jon Huntsman's right. :)
